There's been a long line at the box office at Melkweg in Amsterdam this afternoon as tickets went on sale for tomorrow's show by Them Crooked Vultures.
The band distributed a snapshot of the scene on Twitter today, which is shown at right.
Some on the band's official forum have been filing reports from outside the venue, saying hundreds had shown up to obtain their allotted one ticket apiece.
There's also an interview with some of the people in line, shown here.
The show in Amsterdam takes place at 9 p.m. tomorrow. It will be the second gig from Them Crooked Vultures, the new supergroup with John Paul Jones, Dave Grohl and Josh Homme, and the band hasn't confirmed any further shows.
However, it's likely the band will be playing festival dates very soon. Watch this space for further developments as reported by Lemon Squeezings.
In the meantime, a color version of the Chicago gig photo at ThemCrookedVultures.com is included among The Week's Best Live Shots at RollingStone.com.
(Update, Aug. 19: The Amsterdam show hasn't sold out yet. Remaining tickets will go on sale at the Melkweg box office beginning at 3:30 p.m.)
Jason Bonham
Jason Bonham, son of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham, does not take lightly the responsibility of carrying on his father's legacy. Having made a head start at drumming while he was a child, Jason is now passing on the same lessons to a third generation of Bonham drummers.
John Bonham's death in 1980 left such an impact on the surviving members of Led Zeppelin that they knew immediately they could not continue as they were. Yet Jason Bonham's familiarity with the band made him a shoe-in to join his father's bandmates on the few occasions reunion concerts have taken place.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Bonham's most successful album release to date, the Platinum-certified disc The Disregard of Timekeeping released by his band, Bonham. To mark the milestone, he recently toured with a new band and played under the banner of "An Evening with Jason Bonham."
In the past, Bonham has also toured and/or recorded with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Foreigner, UFO, Paul Rodgers, Joe Bonamassa, Virginia Wolf, Airrace, Healing Sixes and Motherland. He also acted in the movie Rock Star and appeared on the reality TV show "SuperGroup."

John Paul Jones is now in one of the hottest and hardest rock bands, Them Crooked Vultures. The frontman, handling lead guitar and vocals, is Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters is on drums. As for Jones, he offers not only bass and keyboard but also mandolin, keytar, lap steel and whatever else is needed.

Personally, I love all the mystery that encircles this band. It gives it a certain Zeppelin-esque sort of aura. But don't go to the forum on themcrookedvultures.com if you like the mystery. Everyone on there is whining and complaining that they only announce one date at a time using Google Earth,yada yada yada. We are so fixated on instant gratification that when someone comes along and tries to slow us down, we whine and complain like 2 year olds wanting their bottle. I use their Twitter updates and on here cause Steve, you're awesome and you don't whine. To everyone on that board that is complaining, settle down! Let them do what they want to do and quit whining when you don't get your way. Revel in the mystery behind the music...
